Summary/Abstract: The shift towards a low-carbon society relies on electrifying Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Energy projectshave led to an increase in social divisiveness in certain countries. Hence, worldwide, governmental, and legislativeentities - local, geographic, national, and global - exhibit significant apprehension over the environmentalconsequences and risk elements that shape the energy paradigms. Therefore, to mitigate and restrict theproblems related to environmental insecurity, the globe must take prompt and efficient measures to safeguardthe climate for a more promising future. It must actively seek alternate energy options while decreasing itsreliance on petroleum-based energy sources. In light of this pressing matter, this research aims to showcase thecapabilities of several RES, such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, and biomass. The research briefly summarizesenergy-related issues and prospects, followed by a comparative analysis of RES and non-RES. A comprehensiveoverview of several Sustainable Energy Sources (SES), such as wind, solar, hydroelectricity, and biomass, isprovided, accompanied by pertinent illustrations and statistical data on the global energy potential of eachsource. The paper addresses risk factors, offers closing observations, and presents future guidance in its finalsections.
